28 Things in 28 Years!

Last year, I wrote a post sharing 27 things I'd learnt in 27 years of life. As I turned 28 last week, I thought I'd share another 28 things I've learnt in my now 28 years of life. So grab a cuppa and settle in, this might be a long one! 

August Reading Wrap-Up//September TBR

Another month over so soon? I swear, this year is just whizzing by now. It won't be long and we'll be slogging our way through January again, albeit in 2019 this time. I do love September though. It's my birthday month. It's also our first wedding anniversary. And the weather's starting to turn as Autumn approaches. Honestly, this is my happy month! With that said, let's take a look back at last month and what I was reading...

Fierce (****) by Gin Phillips was an exceptional novel. I found it totally gripping, absorbing, and exciting. What let it down, though, was the ending. It ended far too early, and left me with no real closure. I'll Be Gone In The Dark (*****)  by Michelle McNamara was an exceptional true crime novel. It read like a piece of crime fiction, but was made all the more chilling by the realisation it was all real. It all really happened. 

September Goals

Autumn is coming, guys! I'm so excited. I spent all of Summer wishing it were Autumn, and now it's finally here. I think the first day of Autumn is 23rd September. But that really won't be long coming around! Anyway, today I want to share how I got on with my goals for August, and what goals I'm setting myself for September. Let's jump right in, shall we? 

August Favourites!

Hello, September! I am so excited for this month. Not only is it my birthday, it's also our first wedding anniversary. Plus, Autumn is right around the corner and the weather's starting to reflect that. September, I love you! I could rhapsodise endlessly about this month, but I'm here today to share a few of my favourite things from August with you...

The highlight of my month is always getting my nails done. Seriously, I cannot tell you how much I look forward to having them done. And how excited I am once I have a nice new set of nails on!

Life Lately: August Edition!

We're officially well into September now, and that makes me so happy. Not only is it my birthday month, but Autumn is right around the corner and the weather's starting to reflect that. I am in my element. But before we get too caught up in the future, let's take a look back at August and what I got up to!
